I wasn't convinced I'd enjoy yoga as I'm a road cyclist and triathlete so if it doesn't hurt, then it's not worth doing. But I really enjoy this work out. I try and do it every few days and feel great afterwards - really stretched out. The time goes very quickly as each exercise moves quickly into the next.

Really great DVD for pregnancy Review date: 2008-01-26 Rating: 8 out of 10This is a great DVD for pregnant women. It is relaxing, and is ideal for preparing your body for labour. It's not too long like yoga classes tend to be, and is ideal for those of us who are already pretty fit but want to introduce some extra stretching and variety to support a healthy pregnancy.
I can't comment on its difficulty - I find it to be pretty easy to follow, having never done yoga before, but then again I am only 20 and already fit before I started. The main strain for me is hamstring stretches because I am guilty of not stretching after a run! I am finding the DVD brilliant, I wish I had started yoga earlier. And when my morning sickness was so bad I couldn't do anything else exercise-wise, I was able to do this. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I think women who are already good at yoga might find this DVD doesn't push them as far as they'd like.Thank you Shiva!Review date: 2007-11-28 Rating: 10 out of 10I can not reccommend this dvd highly enough. I absolutely loved doing this routine daily throughout my pregnancy, the routine is wonderful for body and mind and left me in great shape and well prepared for childbirth. The recovery after the birth was also quick and I was ready for more yoga two days later. The poses are gentle yet effective and there are three variations for each stage of your pregnancy. I felt that Shiva Rea has a deep understanding of pregnant woman and her instruction is nurturing and not irritating at all. Great sequences for beginner to advancedReview date: 2007-10-30 Rating: 10 out of 10I hunted high and low for a yoga dvd that offered a more dynamic workout than the usual 'gentle relaxation' fare and was really pleased with this. I used it throughout my second pregnancy right up to birth (and had an amazing birth which I credit largely to the strong, flexible body I had from doing yoga) and wish I'd had it for my first. I liked that it was broken into sections so that you could pick and choose if you were short of time and while initially I thought the 3rd trimester work loooked ridiculously easy, at 36 weeks I was glad to do something enjoyable, comfortable and strengthening. I highly recommend this.ExcellentReview date: 2007-07-23 Rating: 10 out of 10Having never done yoga before I was a little cautious about getting this DVD. I have found it to be really helpful throughout my whole pregnancy, the poses are adapted for each trimester and all are well explained. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone at any stage of their pregnancy.
